Redcar 4:30 Tips: Fierce Fortitude Can Continue His Progression

Tip: Fierce Fortitude 🔥

Quick Tips

⭐ Best Bet: Fierce Fortitude
⚡ Main Danger: Ammes
🎯 Value/Each Way: James McHenry

Race Preview

This competitive Redcar handicap features several interesting profiles, but Fierce Fortitude stands out as a runner who may still be ahead of the handicapper.

Kevin Philippart De Foy’s lightly raced four-year-old made an excellent start to handicap company when narrowly denied at Wolverhampton last month. That form has substance and he shaped like a horse with more improvement still to come. If transferring that progress back to turf, he looks capable of going one better here.

Ammes is an obvious danger. He has been competing over hurdles recently but returns to the Flat off a mark that looks workable based on last summer’s form. With James Owen’s stable in excellent shape, he could be a major player if quickly readjusting to these conditions.

James McHenry is an intriguing each-way option. Once good enough to finish second in the Cambridgeshire, he has been lightly raced since but shaped encouragingly at Musselburgh recently. If building on that return effort, he could easily outrun his odds.

Urban Road arrives after a solid C&D second earlier this month and should remain competitive, while Raulin has strong course-and-distance credentials and could improve for his recent comeback outing.

Value Angle

James McHenry makes plenty of appeal at the prices. His old form is strong for this level and his recent run hinted that he may be ready to return to form.
